redundant

Cody Frost

dance, dance ,dance, dance..

 

 

 

No box jobs with door fobs

And guys like you with fancy cars

in cocktail bars

That forget to tip as they take a sip,

and with every bit

I feel the dirty napkin they dropped

on the floor crumple in my fist

 

It has become apparent that you are not useful

And it has become redundant

The paperwork you’ve been filing

And now you realize

that there’s a man at the top and it’s not you

Now you realize that it is all not real

 

And if you don’t pay the rent

And all your money is spent

Will he come and get you?

I don’t know, do you know?

And there’s and overwhelming presence

of a hand over your head

Yeah, there’s a big dark shadow

over your bed

 

It has become apparent

that you are not useful

And it has become redundant

The paperwork you’ve been filing

And now you realize

that there’s a man at the top and it’s not you

Now you realize that it is all not real

 

Pin-stripe suits and Chelsea boots

Silver tie-pins with matching cufflinks

Sit on the tube while you read the news

Card declining, perfect timing

Sniffing cheap coke on the weekend

You hit your peak at seventeen and

You’ve got all the gear but no idea

Morning march, a glass of scotch

You’re a bad-boy, you’re a big flirt

Vodka, lime and soda on your t-shirt

You’ve got a shit rose tattoo on your right hand

But your mummy’s been asking

where you’ve been and

 

It has become apparent that you are not useful

And it has become redundant

The paperwork you’ve been filing

And now you realize

that there’s a man at the top and it’s not you

Now you realize that it is all not real

 

That’s a nice fade, where’d you get it from?

Same place as every other Jack, Luke and Tom

You think you’re sick cause’ you paid to sit in V.I.P

But the number on the cash machine says R.I.P

Smashed your iPhone and its got no warranty

And your girlfriend would rather dance with me

I said, your girlfriend would rather dance with me

 

Dance with me, dance with me

Dance with— dance with me

Dance with— dance with me

Dance with— dance with me

Dance with— dance with me

 

Dance, dance, dance, dance with—

Dance with me

Dance with— dance with me

Dance, dance, dance, dance with—

Dance with me

Dance, dance to me
